yum!!
30 seconds shameless self plug starts here== This black pepper beef dish is my favourite chinese stir fry … the family get loads of satisfaction every time I cook this. First time I wokked this, B’s major complaint after the meal was a resounding …. “NOT ENOUGH!! IS THAT ALL!! WHY DO YOU COOK SO LITTLE!!” hehehe … I’m quite confident that everyone who try this dish will like it! We really lick up everything (from the gravy to the sliced ginger) on the plate! And the black pepper marinade can be used to stir fry chicken and other foods too, if you do not take beef. It’s easy too - there are only 4 short steps (see recipe below) ==End of shameless self plug
So, have I convinced you to try it out already?

I told her that since I am a noob cook, she shall be known as the good cook, but she humbly proclaim herself as a ‘chin chye cook’ (chin chye = nochalent) instead. Wah, chin chye cook already so pro, I have chu all my power and I still can’t cook half 1/4 as well =P Hee, thanks for sharing your recipe, girl! xoxo

This black pepper dish looks really yummy with rice. Wow, one tablespoonful of black pepper, is it very spicy? So sad, the other half dun like black pepper-ed dishes. *sob*

Looks great: we’ll be fighting over this one at our house!

This does look like a great recipe — we often take black (and white) pepper for granted, because we put it in everything, but it’s really a star ingredient in this stir fry.

Gee, noob, I love to find recipes which consist of ingredients I don’t need to shop for. I think I love you.
And I particularly love pepper steak, but my recipe is a bit of a wimp in regards to the amount of black pepper, so I know I will enjoy yours.

I love black pepper and white pepper too,
Especailly when I’m eating fried rice,
I just can’t stop pouring them over my rice!

So I had the chance to make over the weekend, minus the celery & bell peppers, and it’s really really goooddd!
I modified it a little (added butter) so I could have more sauce.
I think the ginger & the sesame oil made it yummy
